How to clear the cache for just one page

Updated at: May 20, 2024

The easiest way to clear your cache for a single web page is to simply force that page to reload itself. When you do this, your web browser will ignore the cache of temporary files that it has collected and completely download a new version of the page that you're currently looking at.

When you do this, it's technically not really called "clearing your cache" - it's better known as "force refreshing a page".

Instructions to refresh a page

The instructions to do this vary from browser to browser, so we have a collection of guides to show you how to do it.

Normally when you clear your browser's cache it will completely remove your web browser's entire cache of temporary files. You don't always want to do this, because if you're trying to solve a problem with just a single site, it will end up affecting all the sites that you've visited. So forcing your web browser to completely reload a page is the best way to get a totally refreshed version of that page.
